We must discuss, from low-level talks to high-level talks, the critical importance of human rights in development. It is clear to me that individual countries and regions will find it difficult to make social and economic progress if a disproportionate percentage of their people remain poor, uneducated, and unhealthy. We must address root causes of discrimination, deprivation, exclusion, and inequality. Prioritizing human rights has never been more urgent. There is no greater investment in our common future than that of human rights. -J B
